EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charming facade of Water House in Walthamstow, a fine Georgian building dating back to 1762. Constructed of warm, brown brick, this historic residence holds a significant place in British artistic history as the childhood home of the renowned Pre-Raphaelite craftsman, William Morris. Born in 1834, Morris was a leading figure of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, an influential artistic movement that emerged in the mid-19th century. His early years were spent in this very house, where he developed a deep appreciation for nature and the arts. The serene waters of the nearby Lea River, visible in the distance, would have provided him with endless inspiration. Water House has since been transformed into a museum dedicated to the life and works of William Morris. Visitors can explore the rooms where he grew up, gain insights into his artistic influences, and marvel at the intricate designs and patterns that would come to define his distinctive style. The museum offers a unique opportunity to delve into the world of this visionary artist and witness the enduring impact of his legacy. This photograph, taken circa 1900, captures a moment in time when Water House stood as a testament to the rich history and artistic heritage of Walthamstow and the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
